WASHINGTON (AP) - Former White House adviser Karl Rove has
offered to answer questions in writing about allegations that he
pushed the Justice Department to prosecute former Alabama Gov. Don
Siegelman.
But Rove's attorney said Friday that Rove is standing by his
refusal to testify under oath. And it was unclear if written
responses would be enough to fend off a subpoena from the House
Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the matter.
The committee had set a Monday deadline for Rove to agree to
testify. Rove had previously offered to discuss the Siegelman case
privately, without a transcript and not under oath. But the
committee balked.
The White House, citing executive privilege, has fought
congressional demands for such testimony, saying it has no
obligation to provide lawmakers with details of internal staff
deliberations.
